Acer saccharum, also known as sugar maple, is a deciduous tree native to Missouri that can grow to upwards of 80 feet. Acer saccharum has no major insect or other pest problems and is used a lot in parks and on the side of streets due to its great fall color. Sugar maple is a major component in syrup production due to its sap having twice the sugar content as other maples.
